Unique and worth seeking out. This space is way tripped out.
Scarlet Begonias -> Fire On The Mountain
March 1, 1987
Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center

Scarlet includes a fiery and energetic segue into FOTM, that gives way to even more fiery'er shredding. Good preview of what was to come in the great year of '87 Dead.

I like the way this version echos throughout the venue creating beautiful soundscapes.

Swing Auditorium

This may be my new favorite version. Love the flow of this one. It has that extra little bounce that '77 versions seem to have.

This version is not the best ever. Not sure if it's the technical difficulties or what but they don't even seem sure how to end the song at this point.
